I can confirm the bug too.
After the Xubuntu update from 17.04 to 17.10, the intel mobile graphics is broken.

Moreover, the issue seems to be a little bigger.
The bug here is the same one as bug #1720703 , so Mods please merge the two bugs.

It seems to have nothing to do with the Ubuntu distro, as is is present in Ubuntu Mate,
Ubuntu, Lubuntu und Xubuntu, all Versions 17.10 -- > so this indicates that it is Kernel 4.13
related.

And it seems to affect other distros as well.
The bug also affects OpenSuse, with Kernel 4.13:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1058870

So there seems to be something wrong with Kernel 4.13 with the Intel Graphics 945.

In the openSUSE Bug Report, users state that Kernels 4.11 and 4.12 are still working.

I will test that right now and report back.

Thank you Community for all the efforts.
